Senators Wil Study Plan for Small Firms Division of W. P. B. Separate R. F. C. Agency To Provide Financing Also Requested By the Associated Press. : Senator Murray, Democrat, of Montana said today an immediate Senate banking subcommittee study was assured for legislation which would create & division of small business production within. the War Production Board. The move was urged on Congress by a Senate committee investigat- ing small business problems to give small business “a definite and ef- fective voice in the administration of the war effort.” Senator Murray is chairman. The committee alss asked the Senate to provide ior & separate corporation under the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corp. to enable small business to obtain war production finaucing. Senator Murray said arrange- ments had been made with Banking Committee Chairman Wagner to appoint a banking subcommittee immediately to consider the pro- posal. Rauthless Attitude Charged. In its report to the Senate, the investigating committee said an “utterly ruthless” attitude of the Office of Production Management had pushed small business toward ““wholesale bankruptcy.” The new War Production Board offered little hope for better treatment, it added. “Although big business speaks with a thunderous voice of au- thority,” the committee said, “and carries out its programs in a blitz- krieg fashion, ignoring the wishes of the President and the Govern- ment of the United States, small business is as always entirely in- articulate. * * * “Whenever big business and little business are required to sleep in the same bed, big business steals all the covers.” Firms Get Bulk. The eommittee said that 56 of America’s 184230 manufacturing establishments had been awarded more than 75 per cent of Army and Navy contracts, while the “remain- ing fragment of the defense pro- gram is distributed among about 6,000 prime contractors.” “Of the concerns not included in the defense program directly,” the report added, “about 4,000 hold sub- contracts. Over 174,000 manufactur- ing establishments have not been touched by the Office of Production Management in its mobilization of the Nation's industrinl resources.” A small business production divi- sion would invoicr small business productive cape , recommending means of puttirg it to work, help get raw materials and promote sub- contracting by large companies. House Group Amends, Passes War Powers Bill By the Associated Press. The House Judiciary Committee amended and approved today the second war-powers bill passed last week by the Senate. Chairman Sumners said he would seek early action on the bill, which would confer new emergency powers on Government agencies to expedite the war program. No changes were made by the committee in three major titles al- lowing the Federal Reserve Bank to buy Government obligations direct from the Treasury instead of on the open market; providing for free postage to members of the armed forces at home and abroac, and ex- empting certain unpaid and part- time civilian defense workers from Hatch Act provisions. The committee wrote in a new provision permitting the Census Bu- reau to make available to defense agencies certain information here- tofore held confidentia! by law, to aid in a closer check on aliens. The committee’s action, taken in executive session, was reported to have been unanimous, but several members said there wquld be stiff opposition on the floor to some of the bill's provisions.

Cripps Says U. S., Britain, Soviet Must Ignore Ideologies, Co-operate to Make Lasting Peace Sir Stafford Cripps, former British Ambassador to Russia, suggests in this second of two articles written for Wide World the need for co-operation and mutual understanding between Russia, Great Britain and the United States, both in war and in the future peace. By SIR STAFFORD CRIPPS. (Copyright, 1942, by Wide World News.) LONDON, Feb. 6.—In my pre- vious article I have dealt with the material side of the Russian war effort, and I now come to deal with the political aspect of our association with the Soviet Union in the common struggle. There are difficulties—yes, great difficulties—the ideological differ- ences of two decades, suspicions and frictions of two peoples of widely different character and with meth- ods of government and economic or- ganization that are little understood by one another. At the moment there exists what may seem to many to be an almost forced association, but fundamen- tally it is much more than that. We all three—Great Britain, the United States and Russia—are fighting & common enemy because ‘we each individually love and cher- ish our freedom, our own right to determine how we shall live. We want our own ways because we be- lieve they suit us better than other ways, but good or bad, we fight for them because they are our own and we will not allow any marauding gang of international gangsters to impose their rule upon us for their own benefit. All Signed Atlantic Charter. That state of mind applies equally to each one of the three countries. We have all signed the Atlantic Charter and although the Russians may think the world would be hap- pler if their form of economic or- ganization ruled throughout, just as nikny Americans may think Russia would be happier with another form of government and economy, yet the Soviet government has declared again and again with all sincerity that it does not want to interfere with the internal conditions of other countries. The best way of spreading an ideology or political system in the world is to show by example its suc- cess. Perhaps no country yet has succeeded in doing that for a suffi- ciently. long period to convince others that they must change their own economic system. Beyond demonstrating by the force of successful example the need for world change in the economic system, the Soviet Union has no intention to interfere either in Eu- rope or elsewhere with forms of gov- ernment of its neighbors. The United States and Great Brit- ain adopt the same attitude. Here there is common ground for future action in association. ‘We must put aside once and for all the “red bogey.” Surely it has be- come perfectly plain why Hitler and his associates so sedulously fostered “fear of Bolshevism.” It was his policy to weaken the combination against him. It was his greatest “fifth column” effort to sow dis- sension among his political enemies. He was the fount and origin of all the propaganda for the last 10 years, and it very nearly succeeded. But now that we have seen through it, now that we realizse the common interests for future world safety which we have with the Soviet Union, now that Hitler is unmasked and the true alignment of civiliza- tion has been hammered out in the furnace of war, now st last we can rid ourselves of unreasoning fears and suspicions and get down to the solid basis of constructive work for the future. The Russians ask no country out- side the Soviet Union to become Communist and we ask none within the Soviet Union to desert Com- munism for any other political creed. We are not going to work politically or economically against {one another as suspicious rivals at- tempting to weaken or sabotage po- litical enemies. We are fighting together for a common aim, and that common struggle should form the basis of our new association. We have not changed our natures, Russians have not changed theirs. WS accept them as they accept us for what we are with all our failings and shortcomings on both sides. Tragic Peace Is Possible. ‘That should be the basis of our relations with one another and with the Soviet Union. We shall either have to recon- struct the world in partnership after the victorious end of the war or else we shall have to go each on our separate ways, and with no com- mon agreement the peace will be a more tragic chaos than the war. Partners can influence, aid and assist one another where jealous and suspicious associates merely destroy one another’s schemes for fear that each may steal power from the other. A It is either co-operation or chaos, and we must choose between the two. Let us make it clear beyond all doubt that it is to be co-operation, and we shall deserve well of the future, But co-operation does not, of course, mean giving way in every- thing to a partner. It means to- gether working out schemes and plans with all the give and take that is necessary to arrive at a common decision. If once we can create an atmos- phere of confidence among the three countries which does not yet wholly exist, we can, I fee] certain, plan to- gether and reach an agreement in our plans. Upon one major central point of European reconstruction there will be agreement. The Soviet govern- ‘ment has said *never again”—never again must Europe and the world be subjected to such an agony of war. It must be put out of the power of Germany to repeat the aggression of 1939-41. Agreement Needed Beforehand. How that is to be achieved is a matter for discussion and settle- ment among the victorious powers. Then again, we are all agreed some more stable and lasting system of peace organization must be in- augurated than that which arose after the last war. This again is a matter for discussion and decision. ‘There may and will be many opinions. But unless the principal powers can agree upon some scheme beforehand little or nothing of value will come out of the peace confer- ence. The need for these considerations only MM the vital importance out of the past and a new, more hopeful beginning. I am confident—and I know this from highest- authority—the Soviet Union is anxious and most willing to work in association with Great Britain and America after the war and to prepare now so as to make that work as effective and valuable as_possible. ‘They have deep suspicions: so have many people in Great Britain and the United States, fostered by mistaken international policies and attitudes on both sides in the past, but based on fears of rival economic policies. We must somehow convince each other that we will not interfere with one another’s affairs in the future, directly or indirectly. Public Opinion Necessary. Let us leave rival theories to prove their own success or failure before the judgment seat of world opinion and let the best man win. On this basis we can have true co-operation, but it's a question not only of governments and statesmen but of people and public opinion. ‘Perhaps the war has taught us to be less opinionated about the virtues of our own political system and more tolerant of what we consider defects of others. If this is s0, we may hope to concentrate upon the possibilities of useful constructive common ac- tion in the future rather than upon fears and suspicions of possible rivalries. If we do fear that rivalry then the safest course we can adopt is to make the rival our partner so to- gether we may influence and restrain one another from extreme courses in either direction. To win the war is vital and for that purpose we must give every material aid to Russia. To win the peace is no less vital and to that end we must achieve full political co- operation among the three great Allies of the war—the United Btates, Russia and Great Britain, Divorced at 80 SEDALIA, Mo.

Federal Jury Indicts Druggist Associafion On Anti-Trust Charge Big Wholesalers’ Group Accused of Plot to Fix Margin of Profits By the Associated Press. The Justice Department an- nounced today & Federal grand jury at Newark, N. J. had indicted the National Wholesale Druggists’ As- sociation, 23 of its members and 29 officers and agents on a charge of conspiring to violate the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. The indictment charged fixing of the margin of profits on drugs for wholesalers. ‘The department said it was the first indictment alleging use of fair trade contracts in a manner not contemplated by the Miller-Tydings amendment to the Sherman Act or by State fair trade laws. It was alleged that profit margins were maintained by fixing whole- sale prices of drug cts and by forcing manufacturers to fix the prices to be paid by wholesalers at levels demanded by them. 9 Largest Wholesaler Group. The National Wholesale Druggists’ Association, the department said, constitutes the largest group of wholesalers in the Nation, and does approximately 80 per cent of the Nation’s drug business. The defendants named, in addi- tion to the association, included: McKesson & Robbins, Inc, New York; Coffin-Redington Co. San Francisco; Davis Bros., Inc., Den- ver; Des Moines Drug Co., Des Moines; J. W. Edgerly & Co.

Drug Co., St. Louis; Mooney-Muel- ler-Ward Co., Indianapolis; Schief- felin & Co, New York; Smith, Towns & James, Inc., Brooklyn, and Yahr-Lang, Inc., Milwaukee. Stabilization Plans Cited. The indictment alleged that three so-called stabilization plans were used. Inone, the wholesalers merely acted as agent between manufac- turers and retailers, but guaranteed payment to the manufacturers on products delivered on credit to re- tail druggists. A second plan called for announcement by the manufac- turers of suggested wholesale prices, and a third provided a manufac- turer-wholesaler fair trade contract plan under which minimum whole- sale selling prices were established. The indictment was the outgrowth of & board study of the drug and related industries begun months ago by the Anti-Trust Division, 16 D. C.

Cusick, another attor- ney representing Mr. Hill, got word of this and went to Justice Letts in protest. He asked the court to order Mr. Hill returned to the cell block. Justice Letts agreed that it was improper for Mr. Maloney to take Mr. Hill aside for questioning. The court had him sent back to the cell. Mr. Hill stayed in the office with Mr. Maloney and Mr. Hickey for a period of about 15 minutes. ‘Will File an Appeal. Mr. Cusick said he and Mr. O'Conor will appeal the case in a few days. Outside the courtroom Mr. Ma- loney told newspapermen that Mr. Hill's attorney had called on him and Special Assistant to the Atfor- ney General Edward J. Hickey, jr., last night. “A proposition was made which we could not entertain,” Mr. Ma- loney said. He refused to elaborate further but said “you can draw your own conclusions.” Presumably defense counsel had asked the Government not to op- pose a plea that an unusually lenient sentence be imposed on Mr. Hill, in return for a “frank statement” by the defendant. Mr. Hill was convicted of testify- ing falsely that he did not know Mr. Viereck, indicted Nazl agents, and also in connection with his testi- mony concerning the removal of certain mail sacks from the resi- dence of Prescott Dennett, chairman of the Islands for War Debts Com- mittee, and storage of certain sacks in a space in the House Office Building.

Civilian Defense (Continued From First Page ) trayed an urgent need for the funds now. “What we need is protection, as much as we can get, for the years 1942 and 1943 the Mayor said. “After that I think conditions will change. “But we are in a bad fix right now. We might as well recognize the fact that we are in a very bad situation and it is going to be bad for several months. It will be bad in 1942 and it may be bad in 1943. After that we start pushing.” ‘The civilian defense fund was part of a $160,000,000 supplemental esti- mates bill reported to the House to- day. The Appropriations Committee urged that the Office of Civilian Defense launch a new survey of the tentative distribution of the pro- posed civilian defense equipment among citles and suggested that Mayor La Guardia's organization abandon any hard and fast rule for helping all cities equally within the “target mone” near the coasts. “Some communities in the target area, because of their strategic lo- on and industrial value to the War program, are certain to be potential marks for such sporadic raids as might occur,” the commit- tee declared in arguing for a fiexible system of community air-raid fight- ing assistance. Others in Less Peril. “Other communities in the same zone, because of their isolated loca- tion and lack of industrial impor- tance, would be less susceptible of concentrated attack, though in pos- sible danger from scattered units of an assauiting force.” Both vhe Mayor and the commit- tee emphasized that'the air raids to be expected would be far in- ferfor in intensity and frequency to those suffered by England and the European continent. But the committee added: “The possibility exists that such raids will come, and due to the character of warfare being waged by the Axis powers, they will en- deavor to conduct them with as great an element of surprise and in localities where they will hope to accomplish the most damage. “Prudence requires preparation at all points which the enemy might reach with the character of attack that he would have to make, con- sidering his problem of reaching the United States and considering the ggqe that he would desire to in- No Suicide Missions. The Mayor was graphic in his warning against air raids. “Do not get the idea that a mis- sion to bomb the Atlantic coast would be a suicide mission. It would not be at all. If they can get by and drop their bombs, they can land here and be only prisoners of war for the duration—a very pleasing assignment.” The Mayor said that it was O. C. D. policy to discoursge evacuation of civilian populations from raided areas because of the “questions of food, sanitation and policing” which would arise and turn evacuation into “an enormously difficult prob- lem.” He said evacuation from New York would present “an im- possible problem.” In discussing the O. C. D. plan for distribution of equipment to be purchased with the $100,000,000, Mayor La Guardia ssid: “We have provided for cities of 10,000 and over and certain cities under 10,000 which are provided for by direction of the Army and Navy ‘War Munitions Board. Then there are some communities in the tar- get area, having important war production industries, under 2,000, which are certified by the War Munitions Board for protection. Insignia Protection Desired. “We have provided for armbands. We are very anxious to get them because all sorts of makeshifts are being sold at this time and the wear- ing of official insignia is protected in the authorization bill. This is necessary, because we may have trouble locally here and there about the misuse of insignia. “Steel helmets are also important. For instance, air-raid wardens must remain on the streets during an air raid, it being their first duty to clear the streets of pedestrians and get them under cover. These steel helmets are necessary and should be “The citios will receive this equip- ment, maintain it, use it and operite ) it. This is supplemental equipment to the established equipment now owned, maintained ar@ operated by the cities.” Information about the present rate of production and procurement of gas masks was cut out of the record on the hearings as a vital military gecret. Gen. Paul X. Eng- lish of the Chemical Warfare Serv- ice told the committee that gas mask plants established a year ago are producing nothing now. Six Types of Masks. There are six types of masks—A, B, CS, CM, CL and D. Gen. English explained the differences: “The type A mask is known as the ‘baby respirator.’ That is a type of mask which is an inclosed bag. It has two windows in it, made of cellulose acetate, so that the mother may see the child through the window. “The next type is commonly known as the ‘Mickey Mouse’ type of mask, for children between 2 and 4 years of age. “The next type is for children up to 9. “Then they have the two adult types, one for those with small faces, mostly women, whereas the uni- average adult face. “Type D are duty masks used for workers constantly exposed during a gas attack. This mask is identical with the Army training mask.” Rifle Shot Misses S;nlry At Baltimore Reservoir By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, Feb. 6—A rifle bullet, fired from ambush at a State guardsman on sentry duty at Montebello Reservoir in Northeastern Baltimore early today, narrowly missed the guardsman, who returned the fire but his assallant escaped in a rog. Brig. Gen. Dwight M. Mohr, com- mander of the State Guard, termed the shooting “a deiiberate attempt to assassinate the guardsman” and another in a series of incidents ap- parently aimed at sabotaging the Baltimore waterworks. Shortly afterward, the guard re- ported, some one telephoned the sentry house near the fitration plant and said: “I hope that bullet came close enough to you.” Efforts to trace the call were un- successful.

CHARLESTON, W. Va., Feb. §— The career of Daniel W. (Uncle Dan) Cunningham, who once gained national attention when he led a force of 85 deputies to victory in a pitched battle with 300 lawbreakers, ended yesterday with the death of the 92-year-old retired officer. Mr, Cunningham, veteran of many a dangerous brush with West Vir- ginia outlaws, had served as a dep- uty United States marshal, city de- tective, game warden, railroad po- liceman and juvenile officer. He retired April 15, 1933. The most famous exploit of the man who began his career as a school teacher occurred in 1903. Mr. Cunningham, then a deputy marshal, was sent to Adkinsville, a mile south of Beckley, to arrest men charged with tearing up the tracks of the Chesapeake & Ohio Rallway, When he arrived he found 50 men at the post office, all of them armed with rifles, and was told he could serve no warrants in that town. He returned to Beckley and went back to Adkinsville next day, but was unable to find the men he sought. On the third day, February 323, 1903, & group of 300 men crossed the bridge at Adkinsville and Mr, Cunningham received a report they were tearing up the railroad tracks on Piney Creek. Mr. Cunningham was ordered to arrest the group, so he deputized 85 men. The two forces met at Stan- ford City, & pitched battle followed and several were killed and wounded. When the fight was over, Mr. Cunningham had nearly 200 guns and 69 prisoners. He also had an unusual record in ferreting out and confiscating “moon- shine” whisky stills, and one of those he captured was placed in the Smithsonian Institution at Wash ington. His widow, two sons and a daugh- ter survive. |Haakon's Seat Used By Premier Quisling Bs the Associated Press.
